Imagine buying both an impact wrench *and* an impact driver. Do you feel scammed now?

Whoever they are, they innovated the fuck out of milwaulkee, they couldn’t figure out how to add a hole to the 1/2 square drive, lol!

1/2 drive is a holdover from antique days of oversized undertorqued hardware when studebaker was using 5/8 fine thread grade 0 bolts to hold the license plate on
3/8 drive is far more practical because the average fastener encountered now is an m8. and hot shit 3/8 drive will do everything up to and including 1/2 g8 torque to yield with a slimmer sized socket
and these chinkshit things are glorified screwdrivers with a tiny hammer that barely do 50ftlbs
plus that faggy hex butthole has a magnetic in the bottom that catches all the swarf and renders it useless for bit retention
crap impact is crap

>someone makes the conscious decisions to by tools they want/need and were not tricked in to doing it.

that is not a scam.

Cool, a Bosch freak in red
>>
>>3007223
I don't see the use case scenario where I'd want 1/2" impact torque on my small bits...

Am I missing something here?

i would never buy american tool and I'm pretty happy with both of my impacts that are Bosch pro

No because I found my DeWalt impact driver on a dirt road, fully charged

Lol, the USA hasn’t made a power tool in 1 or 2 decades… Can’t make one now, and it’s going downhill from here.

No, I own duplicates of both for the same reasons I own multiple angle grinders, to leave the variety of attachments installed I require for a given task and so I can swap rather than overheat one tool.

More than a few DIYers have decades of professional experience in the same or related tasks. Of course we want the same or better personal loadout as at work because tools speed completion.

Serious DIY can nearly eliminate paying other people to labor for us. Our money goes much further and we keep the tools which frequently pay for themselves on first or second task while offering instant use. I don't pay mechanics, plumbers, electricians (inspections excepted), welders, computer techs and that's the short list.

MANY Anons are far more capable than I am. Fuck yes I buy, make and modify many useful tools and never cried myself to sleep over having more/better than minimal equipment, minimal storage, minimal or no dedicated workspace, or minimal transport.

Neither did my gearheadbros (we help build each others shops, transport machine tools and much more). DIY is life. DIY is a financial effects multiplier. DIY builds broad and deep life fucking competence.

I should have got many more tools and equipment much earlier in life. Gear up then use the capabilities you acquire!

> rather than overheat one tool
I just use one big un instead if dozens of little toys that overheat, break, slip out of my large powerful hands… you know the story.

> I don't pay mechanics, plumbers
I have friends. You should try it. Usually you need some skill or ticket in something you can return. Maybe you’re a certified deep-tissue massage technician. I could use that sometimes.
> lower.
> lower.
> lower!

You can always sell your tools and steal^h^h^h^h^h acquire new ones

>>3007531
So I'm supposed to make friends with people that have skills I don't? So I need like one geeky nerd friend I guess...

don't see why you'd need an impact wrench when a breaker bar can easily top any torque a handheld toy can provide

I don’t use tools that don’t require multiple overly expensive, incompatible, proprietary lithium ion battery systems that change every year.

> brush less
So, it only has one brush, one less than corded tools. One day, we’ll have brush free tools with no brushes.
>>
>>3007223
those are two very different tools anon
>hol' up, just gotta rattle up this philips head into some drywall
t. have an impact, a driver and ratchet because they all have vastly different use cases
>>
>>3007230
I know exactly why they didn't add it, retards will go full gorilla and destroy every fastener they touch and then flip shit about it. You already see that with regular 1/4" impacts that have way less torque, I see people on here all the time talking about how they're useless tools that ruin everything.
>>
>>3009590
I think most people use impact guns wrong. The best example is lugnuts. Idiots will go to town on them not realizing there is no chance you're ever taking that off on the side of the road. The spec for most passenger cars is like 90 ft-lb.
>>
>>3007223
my impact wrench would snap any bit in your driver
>>
>>3009629
Different tools exist for a reason and idiots will argue they shouldn't until they run out of breath.
>>
>>3009606
We used shitty Craftsman impacts at my old shop for that exact reason. They'd get the nut to like 75 ft/lb and then you could do the rest with an actual torque wrench. You can do about the same thing with modern ones by timing it right but it takes more experience and technique and varies between guns.
